Asante Samuel, whose dropped interception set the stage for David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII, was contacted by the Jets, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Per Mehta, it’s unlikely that Samuel will be signed, since the Jets plan to go younger.

Samuel, 33, appeared in 11 games with 10 starts for the Falcons in 2013. He spent four years with the Eagles after Super Bowl XLII and five before that with the Patriots.

why would a team even contact a guy if they don’t plan on signing him or not thinking about it. Personally they should be looking at trade options but they are looking at getting younger so a 1 yr deal on a guy like Samuel may not be a bad idea.

Who’s the best corner in the league? My granny can do better than any of those clowns, Samuel included.

Jets are a dumpster.

Not a good idea. It’s good they passed on Cromartie. Once cornerbacks hit 30 they decline rapidly.

Still cant believe he mistimed that jump in the 07 Superbowl

Asante Samuel was the guy who was supposed to be covering David Tyree….so the guy screwed up twice on that fluke drive by the giants.

Pats fans look at Asante the same as Billy Buckner. ’86 World Series was a win for the sox until that slow grounder to 1st base went through Bunker’s legs late in game 6. Mets then won it all in game 7. Mets then the Giants.

There is a deep hatred in my heart for him because it hit his hands and he dropped it. We would have been 19-0 I hate my life. #nosuperbowls since spygate will haunt me forever

Good thing is, since he used to play for the Patriots, he’ll always know how to cheat.
